Liz, no flipping the thing over. In step 6, grab the left corner and bring it over so you're folding on that dotted line. What used to be your bottom edge should now line up with the edge on the right.

One of my readers led me over here after pleading for help in my post today...wish I'd seen this tutorial before making the worst looking felt snowflake placemats ever! These are gorgeous...and now I'm hooked on your blog!

J, the PDF page has only the folding instructions, nothing else. It's letter sized for printing. When you've clicked the link and the PDF appears in your browser window, right click (or on a Mac, hold down the Control button and click), and you should see an option to save the PDF on your computer. Do that. You can open it in Adobe Reader (it's free and you probably have it already) or in Preview on a Mac. Then print it.

I'm able to print it right from the browser window with no problem, too. Not sure what the "other stuff" is that you're seeing...

I love these snowflakes! Thanks for the folding directions for 5 points! I can't wait to try it! I love to make snowflakes too though have never tried them in orange - I usually just go with boring white :)

I just spent my Saturday morning making these. Each one was cuter then the previous. I think the key is ironing them when they are finished. I tried to skip this step but they were not as nice. I can't help it I am an immediate satisfaction kinda gal!Thanks!

Poupee, see my comment higher up in this thread for a couple links. I just have 6" and 10" sizes, and have ordered some from Amazon or picked some up here and there at art stores. Haven't bought any in bulk.

Thank you SO much for posting this! I immediately made two of that 8 pointer, and then four more of my own design, which I NEVER would have known how to do without this. Thank you! I had been longing for days to make beautiful paper snowflakes!

This seem very do-able. Today I am going to try them with 2nd graders! I did make my original pattern (for folding) with marks at the fold points to help them out. We will see ... thanks for such clear directions. ~Denise

I cut tons of paper snowflakes every year but always 6-sided because that's what we teach the kids about snow at preschool. I'm going to be making some 5-pointed ones for me, though, and using fun colors. And I'm not waiting for winter, either! Thanks!

Ohh this is AWESOME!! I just tried it out on a piece of scrap paper and while it's not at all pretty it does show me the endless posibilities! Thanks so much for the folding directions. Do you have any for 6 and 8 pointers as well?? That last one you used for that package is beautiful!

Guess who's going to be making papercut snowflake garlands for christmas decoration hahah! Thanks so much!:)

clearly I should find some kids to help me out with this as I seem to have no spatial skills! I think I got the folding right after a number of tries but then when I tried to do similar fancy cuts I ended up slicing right through a section. I pretty much ended up with an overly handled ugly wad of paper bits. :(

Thanks for sharing! I made it! :)I've been checking so many pages, and yours has the clearest folding instruction on 5 pointed snowflakes! Thanks a lot. Now i can start making my Christmas cards! Merry Christmas in advance~
